opinion it was rank offense, when addressed
to q young lady in Miss Ediths position.
The impression of the Gazette containing
this fine effusion reached the manor Just be
fore Christmas, and Miss Edith read it with
an amused expression. and discussed it with
levity that was not altogether relished by
Lord Creighton. Miss Edith herself showed
it to Rolfe.
"Have you seen the copy of the verses in
the Gazette, Mr. Rolfe, which are talked OF
so much ~
Rolfe extended his hand for the paper.
She withdrew it, smiling.
"Nay, want to read it to YOU"
1t was hard to criticise while the delicious
music Of her voice was thrilling him, but he
tried to give some attention to the language.

the place. She inclines her lovely head, and
says, softly:
II want you, then, to give some of those
hours to me. That is, when you have moth

Rolfe, dazed and ecstatic, bowed, stam-
mered and consented. He thought after
ward that he must have appeared stupid
and ill-bred not to have made fitting ac-
acknowledgement of the compliment of so gra-
cious proposal
On Christmas Eve, when Miss Edith,
tired with her supervision of the prepara-
tions for the festivities of the next day, re-
tired to her ROOM her maid handed her the
following:
Sylvia, would you know the passion
You have kndled in my breast?
Trifiing is the inclination
That by words can be expressed.
In my silence see the lover
True love is by silence known.
In my eyes you'll best discover
All the power of your own.
1t was bad time for the poets offering.
She was experiencing one of those ebbs of
geniality to which the possessors of high ami
NAL spirits are subject, and she was languid
and dispirited. Under most circumstances its
audacity would have commanded her ad-
miration, even while she would have made
up her mind to make the poet understand
his distance. In her present mood it angered
her.
The next morning she ignored him and
busted herself with her guests. He was
perturbed and anxious. Walking around
the porch-after the enormous Christ
mas day dinner was over, and the
ladies had gone up stairs to rest and
prepare themselves for the dance at
night, while the gentlemen had gone
off to have a cock fight-he surprised
Lord Creighton with his arm about Miss
Edith snatching kiss from her cheek. He
had but momentary glance; but it seemed
to his gloomy fancy to be as coarse and un-
dignifed an encounter as the bussing matches
of Hodge and Betty in the servants quarters.
He did not see the majestic wrath with which
eth lady brought the audacious assailant,
tipsy as he was, cringing to her feet,

gasping out abject apologies. He could not
know that in indulging that reckless inn
pulse Lord Creighton had wrecked the
edifice of esteem thathe had so labo-
riously built up in Edith's mind. Rolfe
could not know these things, and he
sickened with horror and disgust. Some
thing Of this must have displayed itself
in his expression, for when Miss Edith swept
loftily into the house, she turned upon him
with carnation cheeks and flashing eyes. He
gravely awaited her pleasure, and for once
language failed her She could not admit
that he had any right to an understanding Of
her conduct, and yet the idea of having made
q false impression upon him CALLED her. She
escaped from the embarrassment by flank
movement. 4,

THURSDAY EVENING, AUGUST 4.

a WHoPPER.-A phenomenon unparai.
leled in the annals of astronomical science
occurred at Clayton, Ga, one day last week,
which, from the light it throws upon the
hitherto open question of the habitability OF
the other planets will prove of great value
to scientists. at 7:45 o'clock o. NJ, there
fell near that town spherical metal ball on
the surface of which appear craven charac-
tiers which give conclusive evidence OF its
having been nodded by intelligent hands.

a sharp hiss, as of escaping steam. l knew
that an aerolite had fallen, for had the flash
been electrical there would have been clap

that steam was issuing from the ground some

inches in diameter, from which arose con-

After half an hours hard digging came upon
the object of my search at depth of about five
feet. 1t was still too hot to handle, but l sue

on my shovel. Instead of rough mass of mete-

The GAZETTE is now the Oldest paper IL
the State, and with few exceptions the old
est in the country, and its usefulness has
been demonstrated and appreciated during
the EIGHTY SEVEN YEARS ofits existence. In
its columns has always been found mirror
of passing events, and the careful chron-
cling of the history of what is going on in the
world has ever been its aim. 1t is always
welcomed in the household, while in the
counting room and workshop it has become
invaluable.
The GAZETTE he's better facilities for OBJ
tanning news than any paper outside of the
national capital Situated as it is SO close
to the great centre of news, it enjoys daily
the benefit of the Associated Press dis
patches from every part of the world hence
its patrons can read from its columns in the
evening what has transpired that day in
every portion of our own domain as we'll as
from every part of the habitabe globe.
Consequently it is an every day occurrence
for the GAZETTE to publish kilograms from
the various European capitals twelve and
fifteen hours earlier than The morning ia
pers.
Another feature that serves to make the
GAZETTE great desideratum with mer
chants is its afternoon market reports from
New York, Baltimore, Chicago and other
centres
The local department furnishes a fall and
complete history Of everything that occurs
n and near the city, and this feature will
as ever, receive careful attention.
Correspondence from Washington, Rich.
mond and every section of theState, is pub.
lished regularly, and all events of interest
occurring within the bounds of the Com.
monwealth are TO be found in the columns
Of the GAZETTE.
The GAZETTE's circulation is steadily 10
creaslng, especially among people who con-
suit its advertising columns before purchas-
ing. That this is self-evident may be infer
red from the fact that large country ed.
tion-nearly as large as the daily--is sent
sll over this section of country three times
. week, and is read by thousands, most of
whom send here or to contiguous cities to
make purchases. The advantages of adj.
'ertising in the GAZETTE are, therefore, ap-
arent.
